A friend of mine who speaks hardly any english had an old phone bill unpaid for a breach of contract and it was around $750 and he never paid. The debt was sold to a local attorney who garnished his bank account and took $1775. He was mailed a $6 check along with the garnishment paper work(no letter of explanation, I assuming it was overage). This was a month and half ago. The original debt is still showing on his credit report. Today I contacted the lawyers office on his behalf and talk to an extremely rude lady(she was an attorney) and would not fax a paid in full letter saying he still owes another $357 and would not breakdown the charges and say that he had the breakdown already.
I got so upset! But then I reminded myself that this was not my battle and wondered why I was so worked up. She was really rude basically a BIAAAAATCH! How can I help him? With out getting involved where It is taking up to much of mine time. Can he sue in small claims court to get an explaination?
